Payload mass, known fuel and vehicle masses, and speed and elevation data from launches, plus final orbits. It isn't perfectly, but a best fit of available inputs and results. I don't feel well enough versed on the details to make a real answer, but it's not 'from nothing.' | |

| Sep 25, 2018 at 21:02 | comment | added | Russell Borogove | What sort of answer are you looking for here? I've written an orbital launcher sim that could provide similar plots, but I don't know which aspects of the sim you care about. I based my approach largely on Joan Creus-Costa's launchsim, though mine is a complete rewrite in a different language: | |
